1964 McCormick D326 (German made farmall)
3cyl Diesel (DD-111) motor
Going through quite a bit of oil the last few weeks. Rod bearings had to be replaced because I didn't realize it and ran out of oil. Anyway, engine work is all done and things are OK EXCEPT ......... Starts a little harder (takes longer) and smokes pretty bad for a little bit. Runs fine after it warms up. Looks like a classic valve seal problem, but goes through a bunck of oil. No oil in water or water in oil, no visible leaks, doesn't smoke after it runs a minute or so.
Should I be looking somewhere else? Is there a wonder drug that will tighten the valve seals to get me through the winter (need it daily in winter and can't afford downtime)?
